8/14 Shasta

Happy Fursday

WCR: All Ps in place. Appy is ok today...nothing special. I got lots of snuggles last night when I first went to bed and again at 3am. Oh, and when she wants me to feed her or pay attention to her, her new attention-getter for me is to shred her paper bag (assuming I left it out for her)! :lol: :lol: Such a silly girl.

OT: Yesterday, my thumb nail started hurting and got worse and worse as the night went on. This morning, the entire finger is swollen and painful (most of the pain is isolated to the tip & really bad under the nail). ugh...why me. :sad: I have no idea what has caused this and I have no idea what to do. Why don't these things happen to me over the summer...when I have time to go to the doctor. Any suggestions? I've thought about just chopping it off.

Off to get ready for work. Wishing everyone a great Fursday. Sending healthy vines to all our sugar kitties and their hoomins! Blessings!

Morning Deb,

Glad Shasta has a pretty good appy to start the day Shredding must be one of the top 5 things for kitties to do!

Wow, the finger/nail sounds painful. Could there be something stuck in there? Sounds like you might need an AB. Good luck~

How nice on the snuggles and how funny on the paper bag. :lol: Sorry about your thumb. Maybe you could put some ice on it and see if the swelling goes down today. You may have to see a doctor. I hope it gets better soon.

Nice sunny start for Shasta and great to hear she is eating well and wanting lots of snuggles. Healing vines for your poor finger. I have no ideas. Maybe soak it is in Epson Salt and see if that helps? That's what I have to do when I get hang nails. Ouch. Have a great day Deborah!

Hi Deborah,
Nice to hear Shasta's eating good!
Sorry about your finger. Maybe something got in under the nail and bacteria is making it worse?
I don't know... maybe wash with alcohol?
But I think the best thing is to go to the doctor!
Hope it'll get better soon!

Hi Deborah,

Nice way to start the day - snuggles with your favorite fur ball......

As for your finger, it sounds like a splinter / foreign body or infected hangnail? I'd probably grit my teeth & make a doctor appt - that will guarantee it's nothing serious!!! :lol: :lol:

Hope you feel better........

Good evening Jane, Carla, Melissa, Mariko & Stephanie ~

Shasta and I just had a little snuggle session on the floor. Her appy has been ok tonight. I tried adding her Potassium sup to her dinner tonight. I figured that there was so much other stuff in there...she'd never notice! :lol: She ate most of it, so hopefully she got her sup.

I am headed to bed in just a moment because this week has just about done me in. I can barely keep my eyes open. Sorry to miss out on condos, once again. :sad: My finger is still swollen. I asked the school nurse this morning if she thought I should be concerned. She said I should be worried if it got any worse or didn't get any better in the next day or so. She gave me some ice and then it was off to start teaching. I called my mommy tonight and she suggested soaking in epsom salt and put some iodine on it. I just had some more ice on it...still swollen. Just took 2 motrin. Hoping the swelling goes down over night. I honestly don't remember if I did this, but I'm starting to recall possibly catching the tip of my finger in a drawer?! Maybe I just made that up to make me feel better...who knows. I'll ask my chiro tomorrow, if it's still bad. Maybe he can take an x-ray! :lol: Damn thumb! If worse comes to worse and I feel like it's going to explode tomorrow, I'll drive myself to the ER after my chiro appointment. Thank you for all your suggestions and advice. I feel like the motrin is kicking in and the pressure seems to be lessening?! :? I miss hearing everyone kitty stories. Please give your kitties extra scritches from me.

Good night.
